Editing Consumer Protection Profile

The Consumer Protection Profile (CPP) is intended to be an 'at-a-glance' summary of a product or organization.

Since objective commentary is vital, all pages using the CPP must adhere to the same standards.

=== Categories ===
<u>There are strictly 3 categories:</u>
# Privacy
# Transparency
# Freedom

<u>Each category may have a status of:</u>
# No Concerns
# Minor Concerns
# Moderate Concerns
# Significant Concerns

=== Deciding Statuses ===

Since each category is different, each needs different criteria by which a status is decided.

<u>To decide the status for Privacy:</u>
# No Concerns: There are no referenced incidents or contracts that negatively impact consumers' privacy
# Minor Concerns: There is at least 1 referenced incident or contract that negatively impacts consumers' privacy
# Moderate Concerns: There is at least 1 referenced incident or contract that proves that consumer data is '''shared''' with third parties
# Significant Concerns: There is at least 1 referenced incident or contract that proves that consumer data is '''sold''' to third parties

<u>To decide the status for Transparency:</u>
# No Concerns: There are no referenced incidents or contracts that bring the transparency of the company/service into question
# Minor Concerns: There is at least 1 case of unclear or undefined documentation of users' rights
# Moderate Concerns: There are 2 or more cases of unclear or undefined documentation of users' rights
# Significant Concerns: There is at least 1 referenced major incident involving transparency

<u>To decide the status for Freedom:</u>
# No Concerns: There are no referenced incidents or contracts that negatively impact consumers' freedom
# Minor Concerns: There is at least 1 referenced incident or contract that negatively impacts consumers' freedom
# Moderate Concerns: There is at least 1 referenced major incident pertaining to consumer freedom
# Significant Concerns: There is at least 1 referenced major incident that proves the company/product/service does not currently perform it's promised function
